But I can't offer any possible cures given only what's in your post. You could have some Xeno-386 with that slot loader that was known to have problems until you replaced the power cord.

Note: If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem.

In this case, let us know what types of programs you are trying to install, if it's a manufacturer disk or one you created, if an error message occurs, if the entire computer freezes or just the program, etc.

Here are a few tips to get you started:
* Make sure your CD-ROM drive is working properly by playing a music CD.
* Check the CDs for physical damage.
* Make sure you have all required updates (OS and from the manufacturer).
